Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a resin composition, a conductive copper paste, and a semiconductor device. In particular, the present invention relates to a resin composition, a conductive copper paste, and a semiconductor device, which have low specific resistance.
BACKGROUND ART
A semiconductor device in which the electrode portion of a semiconductor element and the conductive portion of a substrate are bonded to each other is very extensively used. For bonding the electrode portion of a semiconductor element and the conductive portion of a substrate, a conductive adhesive or soldering is used. The conductive adhesive has the advantage that bonding can be performed at a lower temperature than soldering. However, the specific resistance of the conductive adhesive is higher than that of solder. Therefore, studies are underway to reduce the resistance of the conductive adhesive.
Known conductive adhesives include silver as a conductive filler. However, since silver has migration properties and has increased in price, studies are underway to use copper as a conductive filler. The conductive adhesive including copper generally has the drawback that the specific resistance is high.
As a paste including copper as a conductive filler, there is disclosed a conductive copper paste containing as essential components a copper powder having a predetermined particle size distribution and tap density, a thermosetting resin, an organic carboxylic acid, and a chelate agent, and furthermore, polybutadiene (claim 1 and paragraphs 0013 and 0022 of PATENT LITERATURE 1).
This conductive copper paste is prepared such that it is a conductive copper paste which enables screen printing, has favorable conductivity comparable to a conductive silver paste, and possesses migration resistance properties, and which is suitable for through holes corresponding to fine pitches (paragraph 0008 of PATENT LITERATURE 1). It is disclosed that specific examples of the organic carboxylic acid may include salicylic acid, benzoic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, and malonic acid (paragraph 0018 of PATENT LITERATURE 1). All these organic carboxylic acids are solid at normal temperature.
Also, there is disclosed a conductive paste for circuit boards which includes a copper-containing metal powder, a compound containing at least two (meth) acryl groups, and a β-dicarbonyl compound, and which does not substantially contain an azo compound and a peroxide (claim 1 of PATENT LITERATURE 2). It is described that this conductive paste for circuit boards may include a compound having flux activity (paragraph 0014 of PATENT LITERATURE 2). An example of the compound having flux activity may include aliphatic carboxylic acids such as oleic acid (paragraphs 0038 and 0046 of PATENT LITERATURE 2).
Furthermore, there is disclosed a conductive copper paste composition which includes a prepolymer having at least two hydroxyl groups and at least one tertiary amine in one molecule, a copper powder, an amino resin, and a reducing agent, and which can be etched by an acidic etchant (claim 1 of PATENT LITERATURE 3). It is disclosed that an example of the reducing agent may include an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid having 12 to 23 carbon atoms, such as oleic acid and linoleic acid (paragraph 0016 of PATENT LITERATURE 3).
However, it is known that these conductive copper pastes have the following problems. That is, the specific resistance of the conductive copper pastes is likely to become high, and furthermore, significantly changes after curing depending on the content of a copper powder. Moreover, since usable resins are substantially limited (a resol-type phenolic resin according to PATENT LITERATURE 1, a compound having at least two (meth)acryl groups in one molecular according to PATENT LITERATURE 2, and a prepolymer having at least two hydroxyl groups and at least one tertiary amine in one molecule and an amino resin according to PATENT LITERATURE 3), applicable uses are limited.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
<Resin Composition>
The resin composition according to the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as the resin composition) includes (A) a copper powder having an oxygen content of 0.3% by mass or less, (B) a thermosetting resin, (C) a fatty acid, and (D) an amine or an amine compound.
The copper powder having an oxygen content of 0.3% by mass or less relative to 100% of the copper powder as the (A) component imparts conductivity to the resin composition after curing. The resin composition is advantageous in that the specific resistance after curing does not significantly change depending on the content of the (A) component. Here, the oxygen content of the copper powder is measured by hydrogen loss method. Specifically, an oxygen-nitrogen analyzer (Model: EMGA-623W) manufactured by Horiba, Ltd. is used for the measurement. It is noted that the oxygen content of the copper powder in the resin composition is measured after the copper powder is retrieved from the resin composition by solvent. Also, the (A) component preferably has an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm, from the viewpoint of the oxygen content and the specific resistance of the resin composition after curing. An example of the (A) component may include a copper powder having a rod-like, flake-like, or spherical shape. A more preferable example of the (A) component may be a rod-like copper powder obtained by crushing a particle-shaped dendritic copper powder (electrolytic copper powder). Also, it is preferable that the tap density of the (A) component is high from the viewpoint of the specific resistance of the resin composition after curing. Examples of a commercially available product of the (A) component may include: an electrolytic copper powder manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd. (ECY-4B, oxygen amount: 0.11%, specific surface area: 0.223 m2/g, tap density: 4.65 g/cm3, average particle size: 6.7 μm); an electrolytic copper powder manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd. (product name: ECY-4B large particle size product, oxygen amount: 0.08%, specific surface area: 0.258 m2/g, tap density: 3.77 g/cm3, average particle size: 10.9 μm); a liquid phase reduced copper powder manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd. (product name: CS-20D, oxygen amount: 0.27%, specific surface area: 0.339 m2/g, tap density: 3.85 g/cm3, average particle size: 2.9 μm); and a liquid phase reduced copper powder manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd. (product name: CS-10D, oxygen amount: 0.26%, specific surface area: 0.656 m2/g, tap density: 4.55 g/cm3, average particle size: 1.0 μm). The copper powder (ECY-4B) manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd. and the electrolytic copper powder (product name: ECY-4B large particle size product) manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd., which have a low oxygen content, are preferable.

The (A) component may be used alone. Alternatively, two or more of the (A) components may be used in combination.

The (B) component is preferably, but not particularly limited to, at least one selected from the group consisting of an epoxy resin, a phenolic resin, a melamine resin, a xylene resin, and a urea resin, from the viewpoint of adhesive strength.

Alternatively, two or more of the (B) components may be used in combination. It is noted that solid resin such as a resol-type phenolic resin may be heated and mixed with the later-described diluent when preparing a paste so that it is used in a liquid state.
The (C) component functions as a flux component which allows an oxidized layer on the surface of the copper powder to be eluted. The (C) component is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of

When the content of the (C) component is less than 1 part by mass, the specific resistance value of the resin composition after curing is likely to become high.

The (A) component, the (B) component, the (C) component, and the (D) component were uniformly mixed and kneaded by a three-roll mill to prepare a resin composition. Lastly, the viscosity was measured by a Brookfield-type viscometer (Model No.: HBDV-1, No. 14 rotor, 10 rpm). A diluent was added such that the measured viscosity became 20 to 25 Pa·s. It is noted that when the (B) component was solid and was difficult to mix and knead, the (B) component was previously dissolved in part of a diluent, and thereafter other components were mixed and kneaded.
<Evaluation Method>
<<Measurement of Initial Viscosity>>
The resin composition was measured within 24 hours after it has been prepared, at 25° C. with 10 rotations using a Brookfield-type viscometer (HBDV-1, No. 14 rotor).
<<Measurement of Specific Resistance Value>>
A pattern having a width of 1 mm and a length of 71 mm was printed with the resin composition on an alumina substrate using a screen printer. The printed resin composition was subjected to heat treatment in a nitrogen atmosphere at 200° C.×30 minutes by a belt conveyor curing oven so that it was cured. The thickness of the obtained cured film of the resin composition was measured using a surface texture and shape measuring instrument manufactured by Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd. (Model No.: Surfcom 1500SD-2). The resistance value was measured using a digital multimeter manufactured by TFF Keithley Instruments, Inc. (Model No.: 2001). The volume resistivity was calculated as the specific resistance value.

As understood from Tables 1 to 3, in all of Examples 1 to 24, the specific resistance value of the resin composition after curing was less than 1×104 Ω·cm. On the contrary, in all of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 in which a copper powder having a high oxygen content was used, the specific resistance value of the resin composition after curing was high.
As understood from Examples 2 and 25 to 26 in Table 4, the specific resistance values of all the resin compositions after curing were less than 1×104 Ω·cm even when the (B) component, the (C) component, or the (D) component was varied.
As understood from Table 5, the specific resistance values of the resin compositions after curing in Examples 28 to 30 were less than 1×104 Ω·cm. On the contrary, in all of Comparative Example 6 without the (C) component and the (D) component, Comparative Example 7 without the (D) component, and Comparative Example 8 without the (C) component, the specific resistance value of the resin composition after curing was high.
As described above, according to the resin composition according to the present invention, the specific resistance after curing is low regardless of the type of the thermosetting resin, and furthermore, does not significantly change after curing depending on the content of the copper powder. Therefore, the resin composition according to the present invention is extraordinarily useful as a conductive copper paste.
